PA Negotiator: Construction Means End to Peace Process

Despite making unilateral moves for statehoo at the UN, Palestinian Authority negotiator Saeb Erakat told AFP on Wednesday that if Israel moves ahead with plans for construction in E1 it will mean the end of the peace process,

"If Israel decides to start building in E1 and approves all the settlements in it, we consider it to be an Israeli decision to end the peace process and the two-state solution, which ends any chance of talking about peace in the future," he said.
